Modi had asked Deve Gowda to go to old age home: Siddaramaiah
Hubballi, May 2: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has praised JDS supremo and former prime minister HD Deve Gowda only to get political mileage in the Assembly elections.
Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, he said that in the last Lok Sabha elections, Modi had asked Deve Gowda to go to old age home. But now, Modi has praised Deve Gowda. Going by these developments, it is certain that both JDS and BJP have mutual understanding in the election. But they could not defeat him in Chamundeshwari constituency. He would win the constituency as the voters would bless him, he said.
Modi has been calling them as 2+1 and 1+1. Didn’t he contest two constituencies in the last Lok Sabha elections? Is Modi blind towards the candidature of BJP leader Govind Karajol and his son, CM Udasi’s son, Shashikala Jolle and her husband, Umesh Katti and his brother, Yeddyurappa and his son Raghavendra, he asked.
BJP state president and chief ministerial candidate B S Yeddyurappa has been saying that he would send Siddaramaiah into jail if he came to power. He does not have a common sense on law. He was not facing any criminal charges. BJP would not come to power in the state and Yeddyurappa would not become the chief minister. Yeddyurappa is fearing about the defeat of his party due to which he has been saying that he will be the next chief minister, he ridiculed.
The people have not yet forgotten the developments happened during the BJP ruling. For no cost, the people would not give the power once again to those who looted the state. He had conducted paadayatre against Reddy brothers. Anand Singh had been to jail. But the charges were not proved against him. Both Anand Sing and Sathish Sail would not be convicted, he said.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
